Plus how do the game developers justify this function ?? So play every game lade back and then you will be in a great moral state ??

Think of it more as 'stamina'. Teams who go all out every match of the season will be knackered and not play as well as they would like, whilst teams who pace themselves over a league season will be well rested for the games and able to play extremely well in an important game...

I think that the attitude feature is fine as it is because the results in this game tend to be predictable given normal circumstances, meaning that we need things like effort levels and GDP options in the game to make upsets possible.

Now I might lose first round because my enthusiasm is on 12 and some team that is much weaker them mine win because they accumulated 15 by random.


It will be impossible for them to play with above 12 enthusiasm in the first round. Using the coach parrot spreadsheet's enthusiasm calculator tool, which I've found to be highly accurate in matching my enthusiasm, if a team has played TIE every match of the season and was still playing Cup matches on last Thursday, they will play the first round of the playoffs with 11.1 enthusiasm.

I think you may be experiencing confusion with how it works. When you play TIE, your enthusiasm immediately after the game will be increased by one third. If you attempt to set your lineup for a future game once the game has simulated, you will see the updated level at that time. Every day when team updates process, enthusiasm levels trend back to 5, with higher drops at higher levels, so that if you hit 15 enthusiasm on game night, it'll drop to 12 within a couple of days. Fortunately, this also applies to your opponents, so you won't run into someone with a 15.

The main takeaway, though, is that it is entirely not random. The formula has been reverse engineered or at least a very close approximation, so rest assured that if you lose to worse opponents, it won't be because of randomness in enthusiasm.

Not sure what you feel insulted by. I said your idea was stupid. I didn't say you were. However you're clearly showing you don't know how enthusiasm works. I'd suggest you understand something before suggesting it be removed.

If you think there's randomness involved, then you don't understand how it works.
